Roll-N-Roaster is a Sheepshead Bay classic on Emmons Avenue, serving roast beef sandwiches and cooked-to-order fast food since the early 1970s.
Eater New York calls it the anchor of the bay’s restaurant row, with rich, moist roast beef on kaiser rolls (dip it in the meat juices) plus hot dogs, onion rings and clam strips. Reviewers love the old-school vibe and the milkshakes.
